What TAYLORMADE says:
The R1 continues TaylorMade’s mastery of adjustable drivers by offering the greatest range of adjustability of any driver in the brand’s history. R1 gives golfers 12 loft-sleeve settings and seven face-angle positions, as well as two moveable shot-shape weights. R1 also allows the loft and face angles to be adjusted independently of each other – a critical benefit.
The R1’s three adjustability technologies allow it to be tuned 168 different ways to specifically fit a player’s swing to optimise distance and accuracy.
The R1’s seven face-angle settings help golfers attain a precise, confidence-building look at address: neutral/square, slightly open, more open, maximum open, slightly closed, more closed and maximum closed. Face angle can be easily changed without affecting the loft, an adjustability benefit offered only by TaylorMade.
Who plays it: Jason Day (pictured), Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Paula Creamer.
RRP: $499 ($599 for TP version)
